Cheffontaines, Christopher

, in Latin, a Capite
Fontium, a learned divine, fifty-fifth general of the
|
cordeliers, was a native of Bretany, descended from a noble
and ancient family, and born in 1632. He was titular
archbishop of Csesarea, to exercise the episcopal office in
the diocese of Sens, in the absence of cardinal de Peleve.
He died May 26, 1595, at Rome, leaving several theological works; among them, “De necessaria Theologian
Scholasticse correctione,” Paris, 1586, 8vOj of which bibliographers desire us to be careful that the leaf marked E
be not wanting, or is not from another book, it being frequently wanting. He wrote also a volume against duels,
entitled “Confutation du Point d’Honneur,” 1579, 8vo,
and “De Virgiuitate Marias et Josephi,” 1578, 8vo, &c.
Dupin has a very long article on Chefforitaines. He appears to have been a man of great learning, and understood six languages besides his native Bas Breton. 1
